Smart race by Hiltz. Stayed on the rail and out of trouble and is safely in. Tsegay looks cooked to all hell.

maybe the federation was right telling tsegay to drop the 1500…

Hull looked very confident and totally under control in a 3:55 semi. It's really all coming together for her. She definitely should medal. Gold or Silver will be a tough get over Kipyegon or Welteji.

lol @ Morgan's girlfriend she has a name

Sinta ran a 3:58 NR but didn't make the final. I think she and Nuguse were the only 2 from OAC to have good results. Obiri is the only one who hasn't raced yet I think. Really disappointing games for them tbh. I wonder what goes wrong, because at this point it's becoming a trend that they perform literally all the time except outdoor championships.

Anyone else think Elle SP is a somewhat dirty racer? She’s always pushing people and feels entitled to space. Same thing happened at the US trials with Sage Hurta Klecker

Tsegay and Kipyegon both look somewhat vulnerable. Hull is the Kerr of this even, while Hiltz may play the role of Hocker.

ESP runs like Steve Ovett, aggressive and willing to create space by any means necessary. It’s a style that is rarely seen, which is why it appears dirty.

Kipyegon looks vulnerable? She ran 3:58.6 off a 2:13.7 first 800. 2:00.6 last 800 backing off the last 100m in a semi, winning by 5+ meters. If you think silver in the 5k makes her vulnerable, you should do a reappraisal of Beatrice Chebet.

Tara Davis-Woodhall just popped a nice 6.93 jump to move into first.

So? Is it Lyles, Tebogo, Kung Fu? Knighton hasn't looked like his 'old' self.
